TERMS
AND CONDITIONS
1.
By paying a deposit you agree that the terms set out
below are the total agreement made between the parties
and that no variation or modification of this contract
shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in
writing.
2.
Special Requests / Coverage
The
client understands and accepts that the photographic
coverage will be as the photographer's professional
expertise determines and that no one photograph will
be deemed more important than another. Special requests
are not binding instruction, although every effort
is made to comply with the client's wishes.
3.
Any special requests not notified on this booking
form must be made by the client to the photographer/s
in writing.
4.
The Photographer
On occasions and without notice it may be necessary
for the photographer originally specified to be substituted
by another photographer (e.g. due to ill health).
5.
Images
All image sizes are nominal. The photographer/s will
provide a pleasing colour balance but cannot guarantee
exact colour matching owing to anomalous reflectance
caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials
especially man-made fibres. It is sometimes impossible
to record on film exact colours as seen by the human
eye.
6.
Retouching
Retouching, digital manipulation and artist finishing
is available to the client as an optional extra.
7.
Copyright
Any images or copies of images whether stored digitally
or otherwise and any computer program including any
source or object code, computer files or printed documentation
relating to such images are protected by the Copyright
and Design Act 1988. It is contrary to the act to
copy or allow to be copied photographically / electronically
or by any other means an image created as part of
this contract without the permission of the photographer/s
in writing. If the master discs are purchased this
gives the client license to reproduce images but they
cannot be re-sold or exhibited on websites etc.. It
is the bride and groom's responsibility to inform
relatives/guests if they intend to provide prints
to guests, as re-print orders placed/paid for cannot
be refunded
8. Licence
The photographer/s shall be granted complete artistic
licence including in relation to the poses photographed
and the locations used. The photographer/s judgment
regarding the locations/poses and number of images
taken shall be final. Due to the vagaries of weather
and the willingness of subjects it may not be possible
to capture all the images requested.
9. Force Majeure or Act of God
The due performance of this contract is subject to
alteration or cancellation by either party owing to
any cause beyond their control.
10. Previews
Although the photographer will do his best to produce
more proofs/preview prints than set out in the brochure
as discussed with the client, there is no guarantee
that any number of proofs/preview prints will be produced.
If a Wedding Book is ordered a proof is offered to
the client. Up to 2 minor changes are free of charge,
but any more changes required over this may be subject
to a £50 design fee at the discretion of the
photographer.
11.
Display
The client hereby allows the photographer/s to display
any images included in this contract in their studios,
portfolios, literature, wedding exhibitions and advertising.
No use of the images will be made by the photographer/s
for other commercial reason except with the written
permission of the client.
12.
Cancellation
The client may cancel this contract at any time by
giving written notice to the photographer/s but in
doing so shall forfeit any monies paid. Should cancellation
be received by the photographer/s less than 8 weeks
prior to the date of the ceremony the client shall
in addition pay a sum equal to the remaining contract
value. The said sum shall be payable as compensation
as an estimate of the loss the photographer/s would
suffer.
13.
Limitation of Liability
In the unlikely event of a total photographic failure
or cancellation of this contract by either party or
in any circumstances the liability of one party to
the other shall be limited to the total value of the

the photographer/s in writing, within 28 days of first
becoming aware of the matter to be complained of and
in any event within 28 days of receipt of the images.
